My Feet are on the Rock ~ I AM THEY
...When the enemy comes in like a flood... ~ Isaiah
59:19 NKJV
Has your life been flooded by the enemy, lately? We've
had multiple illnesses since Christmas and now the flu. When everyone is sick,
or not able to work to care for sick kids, you start to feel alone. The enemy
goes to great lengths to isolate, and ultimately destroy, us. When we're too
sick to attend church, life groups, and school, we become isolated, which makes
us easier prey.
But when you're in Christ Jesus, you're not alone. "The
LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves…" (Zephaniah
3:17 NIV). Though the enemy floods your life with hardships, remember Who is by
your side. "In every circumstance, even when the enemy comes in like a
flood, you will know that your best friend is a Lion and you need have no
fear," (Cooke, Graham. "The Kind Intentions of God." The
Soaking Compendium. 2019).
Isaiah 59:19 doesn't end with the enemy's attack, but
with the Lord's victory: "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit
of the Lord will put him to flight." You're not alone in this fight. The
Lord is with you: He rejoices over you with singing, quiets you with His love, refreshes
your soul, forgives all your sins, heals all your diseases, redeems your life
from the pit, crowns you with love and compassion, and satisfies your desires
with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s, (Zephaniah
3:17; Psalm 23:3; Psalm 103:3-5).
Remember, when the enemy comes in like a flood, Victory
is already on your side and His Name is Jesus!
